Xiao Fang scratched his head:
"Just... just two days ago, the general and I went to Dingjiatun together!"
Not only did they return the motorcycle, they also gave you two extra cans of oil!
At that time... Oh! I remember now—you weren't there!
We put our things inside the examination room; the motorcycle and fuel were inside too.
Su Ruyi immediately thought of the iodine bottle that had been knocked to the ground when she returned to the consultation room that day.
So, a thief had been here?
But how should this matter be investigated?
She said helplessly, "The things must have been stolen. I didn't see the motorcycle or the gasoline. When I got back that day, I only saw a broken iodine bottle on the ground. I thought it was accidentally dropped by a patient, but now it seems that it was done by a thief."
Xiao Fang exclaimed in shock, "Stolen? In broad daylight... such a big motorcycle stolen?"
Su Ruyi comforted him, saying, "I'll investigate this myself. I still appreciate the general's kindness."
The two got into the jeep as they talked.
When Shen Guoliang saw Su Ruyi, he was quite embarrassed: "Dr. Su, this... I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fang quickly interjected, "General, the motorcycle and fuel you sent back the other day have been stolen!"
Shen Guoliang's eyes widened immediately: "What?! Someone dared to steal my things? Who was it?"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "I don't know yet. I'll go back and check, and I'll let you know when I find out."
Shen Guoliang nodded repeatedly: "Tell me the truth, and I'll skin him alive!"
Su Ruyi looked around: "Um...where's my sister-in-law?"
Shen Guoliang waved his hand irritably: "They had a fight, and she went back to her parents' house again! This wife is good in every way, except for her terrible temper! By the way, Dr. Su, can you tell if there are any changes here?"
Su Ruyi looked around – the entire building seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned, and everything looked even more…new.
Xiao Fang chuckled to himself, "Our general's wife smashed the three-story house to pieces, and this is how it was renovated."
"What? Such a temper?" Su Ruyi couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Arrogance and pride stemming from favor are things that happen in any era.
Indeed, every era has its own unique characteristics.
Suppressing a smile, she asked Shen Guoliang, "General, let's get down to business first. My fifth brother..."
"Oh, a letter, a letter, a letter." Shen Guoliang immediately remembered. "I've kept that letter safe. Come, come, come with me!"
As he spoke, he led Su Ruyi to his office and solemnly took out a letter from his drawer.
The glue on the envelope was perfectly applied, indicating that no one had opened it or peeked at it.
Shen Guoliang patted his chest and said, "I hid this letter very well and didn't dare let my tigress see it even once."
Su Ruyi didn't care about anything else and hurriedly opened the letter in front of the two of them.
Fifth Brother's letter was different from Fourth Brother's; the handwriting was flamboyant and the letter was extremely brief.
"Ruyi, it is as if we are face to face when I receive this letter! Thanks to General Shen's care, after intensive training, I have been assigned to General Xia Nan's command near my hometown of Haicheng as a servant."
Su Ruyi gasped – the general's orderly!
Shen Guoliang really did a great job.
Being able to gain experience by the general's side, one's future prospects are undoubtedly bright.
She continued reading—
"Ruyi, everything is fine here. It's just that I can't write to Xiaotong, so I'd like to ask you to write for me and let me know how I'm doing. Didn't you two use secret letters in your correspondence before? Write him a secret letter. Don't worry about me. I look forward to your reply."
Speaking of secret letters, Su Ruyi immediately thought of the games she played with her fourth and fifth brothers when she was a child.
Back then, everyone had a copy of "How the Steel Was Tempered".
Secret messages use specific words, lines, and pages.
Like a codebook, the rearranged Chinese characters cannot be deciphered by anyone who does not know that the codebook is based on this book.
However, Ruyi does not currently have this book in her possession.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the bookshelf behind the general.
At first glance, I saw the familiar cover.
She quickly pulled out the book: "General, may I borrow this copy of 'How the Steel Was Tempered'?"
Shen Guoliang waved his hand dismissively: "Take it! It's yours! These books are just for show; I can't read a single word of them!"
Su Ruyi and Xiao Fang both laughed.
That same day, Shen Guoliang tied another motorcycle to the back of the jeep.
He then had Xiao Fang pick up Yi Lele and take the two of them back to Dingjiatun.
As she entered the village, Su Ruyi carefully observed the expressions on the villagers' faces.
She noticed that while others were simply filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, the expressions of Ding Silai and his wife were quite unusual, and the way they stared at her motorcycle seemed to be spitting fire!
She probably already had a clue.
That evening, she secretly went to the window of Ding Silai's house, and sure enough, the couple were whispering to each other.
Although the sound was very soft, Su Ruyi's keen hearing allowed her to hear it clearly.
"My goodness, honey, did you see that?"
"How come I didn't see it? I'm so tempted! But this time we got the car through legitimate means, so we can't just openly steal it and sell it again, can we?"
"If we sell this car, our family won't have to worry about food for three to five years."
"Honey, how's your approach going? Since Dr. Su has gotten another car, it means he knows the last one was stolen."
"What's there to be afraid of? Nobody saw us at the time! Besides, the deal was so secret, who would find out? If the people involved don't speak up, who could possibly find out?"
Su Ruyi almost laughed in anger when she heard this.
That night, after the couple went to bed, she used her divine sense to carefully explore their yard.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a great harvest!
Ding Silai had over three hundred yuan in his bulging trouser pockets alone!
In the pocket of Feng Aijuan's vest, there were five hundred yuan neatly arranged!
Not only that, but money and valuables were also hidden inside the kang (heated brick bed), under the kang mat, and even under the floor of the main room!
Big unity coins, small change, and all sorts of tickets and coupons!
There were even two large earthenware jars sealed with yellow mud buried in the yard, filled with small yellow croakers!
Who would have thought that this good-for-nothing couple actually had so much wealth?
Su Ruyi didn't count the items; she accepted all comers and robbed their house clean.
Their main motto is "to hold a grudge and seek revenge!"
Then, humming a little tune to herself, she happily went home and slept soundly until dawn.
The next morning, Su Ruyi was awakened by the postman's shouts: "Su Ruyi! Your letter! Su Ruyi! Your registered letter! Come and sign it!"
"Coming, coming!" Su Ruyi sprang to her feet and rushed out the door.
It really was a letter from Fourth Brother.
Seeing her fourth brother's familiar handwriting, Su Ruyi first pressed the letter to her chest to warm it before opening it—
Dear Sixth Sister Ruyi, I hope this letter is well.
Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person...
